Abstract

La-doped strontium titanates with a perovskite structure are promising candidates of the anode materials for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) owing to their good chemical compatibility with other components and superior redox-stability. Among these La-doped SrTiO3 (LST), A-site deficient LST materials have attracted much interest due to their improved electrochemical characteristics. Recently, exsolution in A-site deficient LST has been intensively studied, because catalytic active and durable metal nanoparticles can be exsolved on the LST surface. In this study, we developed the A-site deficient Ni-doped La0.4Sr0.4TiO3 (LSTN)-Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 (GDC) composite anodes, and investigate their electrochemical performance and redox stability on La0.8Sr0.2Ga0.8Mg0.2O3-δ (LSGM) electrolyte-based SOFCs. The maximum power density(MPD) of LSTN44-GDC anode based cell was 0.698 mW cm-2 at 900℃ in wet H2 fuel (3% H2O). Also, during redox cyclic tests combined with long-term stability test, The LSTN44-GDC cell maintained its performance without any degradation. All these results demonstrate that the A-site deficient LSTN-GDC is a promising material for an efficient and stable SOFC anode.
